Downfall — Germany
One of the last functioning airstrips in Berlin -- used by Albert Speer to fly in and out of the encircled city despite Hitler fury at the disloyalty of his architect.
Tempelhof Airport remained operational until late April 1945, serving as an entry and exit point for a besieged city. It was used for supply flights and by senior officials making final visits. Soviet forces captured it on April 27, 1945.
